I wish i was more of a film critic, so I could say clever things about all the films I watch. But in the end, all I can usually say is wether I liked it or not, and even then, my mind can be drastically changed once I distance myself from it.
So about Elizabethtown, I can tell you this: I liked it very much. It's full of lovely warm characters, and as with any Cameron Crowe film, the soundtrack takes a predominant role.
The whole road-trip thing reminded me of a film I watched last week : Jim Jarmush's also excellent Broken Flowers. This one is made of substantially colder, though not less interesting, characters and way more awkward and unconfortable situations, but the soundtrack is equally important.
Patrícia Furtado is a freelance graphic and web designer, working from her small studio in London. You can appreciate her work by visiting the portfolio at pap-L.com.
Favourite Things is her more personal corner of the web, putting together an assortment of news, links, reviews and even recipes in a cute magazine-ish form.
And yes, her favourite colour is pink, and she is not embarrassed about it!! The Sound of Music is not her favourite movie, though... not anymore.

The great visionary Acácio Jeremias finally has a website of his own and it was designed by pap-L. Acácio is a hillarious character (born out of the twisted mind of Diz Que Disse's creator, André Toscano) intent on asking the questions no one has ever though about. While we wait for his book to come out, we can enjoy his video-podcasts (the title and credit sequences were designed by pap-L as well). The first one is just out, and a few more are on the way. So go there and have a laugh! (Sorry, portuguese only...)
